Thanks John Machin and Mark Tolonen ..
SO I guess the correct one is to use the word boundary meta character
"\b"
so r'\b\d{4}\b' is what I need since it reads
a 4 digit number in between word boundaries
Thanks a tonne, and this being my second post to comp.lang.python. I
am always amazed at ho

I want to parse a number of strings and extract only those that
contain a 4 digit number anywhere inside a string
Try:
p = re.compile(r'\b\d{4}\b')

contain a 4 digit number anywhere inside a string
However the regexp
p = re.compile(r'\d{4}')
